YAM CARNIVAL!!!

I haven’t really updated this site for a while… well. There hasn’t been a lot going on has there. Yam Carnival was the first festival I’ve been to in what feels like.. forever. With an interesting line up – I was excited to be offered press passes to head on down there, friend in tow. And when we arrived it looked like half of London had been invited down as ‘press’ or ‘VIP as the queue to get in rotated a few miles round the large exterior fence. Already late, panic set in as security guards gave us fake names and alternative routes to get in. It appeared that we might not be seeing anyone at all. Thankfully a twist of fate later (and my tenacity haha)– we bumped in to someone who could help and found our way whiling onwards to the stage! We needn’t of panicked. Times lagging and issues with sound systems meant that nothing inside was going to plan either. Yam Carnival’s first year it seemed that ‘technical issues’ stood out… That’s not a band by the way...*smirk

Inside the arena, after we had queued amongst the many queues (needing the toilet is such an inconvenience) – we managed to see Koffee, Kehlani and Davido. All three amazing artists – I am really grateful that I had the opportunity to see them. If they have not fallen onto your radar yet – consider this it.

It was one of those festivals I’d like to do a second time, with less faffing about. The vibe there was so good – and all in all the patience and friendly atmosphere of the attendees was what really made it in the end.

This week I am addicted to Koffee’s song – Rapture and am in danger of overplaying it.
